With the holiday (Thanksgiving), work and new job search, I've just been too exhausted to write and have been catching up on sleep.

To those of you who asked for an update, I heard you, and I love you.
Now, on with the story. **

"Yeah, even the radio works. And all the doors... They open! And it's got breaks, too. I mean, can you believe this? My uncle, he just gave it to me. He gave it to me, for free!" Kelso excitedly showed off his busted-looking van.
"That is insane. I would pay tens of dollars for this. Or not." Fez said after he caught a whiff of the stench rolling out from the van's interior.
"Did he own a cat?" Hyde asked grossed out.
"Yeah." Kelso confirmed.
"You can definitely smell it." Liz scrunched her face up.
"I'm getting an air freshener." Kelso assured them.
"Yeah. Get a big one." Eric urged.
"Guys, guys, this thing is like a bedroom on wheels. No more 'Michael, the backseat's too small.' 'Michael, you're choking me.'" Kelso imitated Jackie's whine. "That's over." He finished.
Bob, Midge and Donna came over to check out Kelso's van and Liz walked to the rear of the vehicle with Hyde.
"At least the smell isn't as bad back here." Liz stated. Obviously Fez thought so too, because he'd laid down in the back.
"Yeah, I guess the cat liked to ride shotgun." Hyde chuckled.
Liz saw Donna lead her parents away from the group of teens and back towards their own house.
"Hey, come here, Forman." Hyde waved Eric over. Hyde laid an arm over Eric's shoulders. "I want you to feast your eyes on this very large and flat cargo area." Hyde said pointedly.
Liz shook her head, knowing what Hyde was implying.
"Wow, you could haul plywood in this." Eric pointed out naively.
"Right." Hyde agreed, realizing he'd have to spell it out for the boy.
"Or Donna." Liz and Hyde said together.
Hyde smirked at Liz, amused that she shared his thought.
"Why would I want to haul... Oh, right! Okay." Eric finally understood. "Nah, no. You know what? She wouldn't do it in a van. She wants it to be special." Eric said with a tinge of disappointment in his voice.
"I'd do it in a van." Liz said.
The boys looked at her in surprise, well, Eric looked more horrified than surprised.
"Well, not one that smells like this." Liz elaborated.
Hyde looked at Liz impressed.
"If you say anything else about you doing it, I swear I'll scream." Eric threatened. "God, why is my girlfriend less slutty than both of my sisters?" Eric whined.
Liz rolled her eyes at him.
"What are you guys talking about?" Donna asked as she walked up to them.
"Oh! Uh... Plywood." Eric lied.
Donna looked at Liz who shook her head with an amused look on her face.
"Good, good. 'Cause I'm not doing it in a van." Donna said, guessing that's what they were really talking about.
